Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my friend who knows who she is (to protect the innocent and not so innocent)! Had a great evening over at her house watching a movie, eating guac and visiting. Her apartment is so cool and Ikea, it's inspiring me to really do something about my cluttered place.

Hanging out with Quincy today. He's not so interested in going outside today, even though it's mild enough outside for a long walk. He just wants to snuggle..so I'm going back to that right now. Okay Quincy, I'm coming!

Onward and upward does my DVD collection grow. I'm so excited to own a brand new copy of Beauty and the Beast. No kids, not the Disney version (although that one is good too), the 1987 TV series season 1! Many a countless weeknight my mother and I would spend watching the first two seasons of this show. It was released last week, so I had to have it! This really goes to show you how much TV I actually watched and still watch to this day.

I'm trying to cut down on my TV watching, but Quincy seems pretty much okay with it. He usually just curls up in my lap and falls asleep.

You know, I'm really loving the invention of the DVD. I can now I start my new year's resolution of cleaning my apartment by tossing my old recorded off the TV TV shows!

This being one of them. The owners of the company I work for gave all of us a little after Christmas Christmas bonus. It wasn't that much, but enough that I am now the proud owner of almost the entire X-Files collection on DVD! (still need seasons 8 &9 but I'm still debating. I didn't really enjoy the last two seasons, so I may go the second hand route again). Needless to say, I bought two seasons second hand and two new. Now my Jewish guilt comes back to haunt me...here's why:

I probably should have spent the money in a more practical manner...

1. Pay Bills...no wait, they're all paid up to date..and my line of credit will be gone by August at the rate I'm going. I owe nothing on my Visa!

2. Buy new clothes. I'm a weird in-between size so shopping is generally no fun for me. It's either way way to big, or my cookie induced hips make it impossible to do things up. Scratch that for now.

3. Music, I haven't bought a new cd for two months now. I must be slipping. (ok, so this isn't really practical, but I digress).

4. Buy the Superdog some tasty yummies. No, wait...I ALWAYS buy him tasty yummies, it's in the budget!

So forgive me oh great guilt gods for purchasing the DVD's of the one show I connected so much with. I remember when it was on Friday nights, I stayed at home. Sunday nights too when they moved it. I had no life, but I lived for Scully and Mulder. And now, as I visit the two of them again, I'm reminded that even though I was a non-social misfit during those 9 seasons, I was so very happy.

New Year's Resolutions

Purge Closet of clothes not seen the light of day since 1997

Reduce Chotchkes (for those who do not know, chotchkes are dust collectors, and no, I will not be reducing my Breyer collection.)

Learn how to vacuum (I have fuzz bunnies on the covering that I think used to be carpet that could feasibly take over the world.)

Learn how to dust - (I know this is a stretch for me, but I need to promise to do this!)

Make my apartment look like an Ikea showroom and not like a frat girl lives here.

Spend less time with Mr. Computer and more time with Mr. Quincy (he'll appreciate that.)

Find a Dean Cain look-alike to do my personal bidding whilst doing his duties as my pool boy (speedo optional)...okay, this one's a stretch, but a girl's gotta dream right?
